You do not allow them to move into the premises or you give up the idea of having the protection of a lease. Once you let them move in without signing a lease they are your problem. It should be noted that a tenant who refuses to sign a lease is giving you a loud message about what type of experience you can expect in the future.
In essence, there is no lease. It's a month-to-month agreement, which is subject to the laws regarding landlords and Tenants in your state. If there is an original contract and that contract has expired, it is no good. Therefore there are laws in every state that regulates and enforce the rights of landlord and tenants. The laws have their own set of rules by which each side must abide, such as the payment frequency, laws which prevent landlord from abusing their tenants, and laws which prevent the tenants from abusing their landlords.
That being said, if you want your landlord to draft a new lease for both of you sign, then you need to request it. If the landlord refuses to sign a new lease, then you have the choice of either continuing month-to-month tenancy or moving out.
